Eric Lira is the first person to be charged for distributing PEDs under the Rodchenkov Act.
Lira is charged with providing blood-building hormones and transporting 'misbranded' items from Central and South America.
This charge is a victory for athletes and fair sport, validating the Rodchenkov Act.
This law applies to international events and not major American sports leagues, reflecting a double standard and U.S. governmental overreach abroad.
